Our Causes

Examining Systemic Issues & Supporting the Whole Child

Early Childhood Education

The brain’s architecture is built during a child’s first 1000 days. Early Childhood Education lays the foundation for a child’s future. 

K-12 Education

One in ten children in the U.S. is born in Texas. Providing Texas children with a quality education is critically important to the future of our local, state, and national economies.

Health

Health impacts all aspects of a child’s life. Healthy kids are better learners and have better outcomes later in life.

Anti-Human Trafficking

The Center to End the Trafficking and Exploitation of Children, the only center of its kind in Texas, was established to combat domestic minor sex trafficking.

Parenting & Family Well-Being

Parents serve as a child’s first teacher, providing guidance and reassurance, and serving as the first role model in a child’s life. 

Immigration

An estimated 17 million immigrant children live in the United States. These children will transform Texas’ education and employment sectors and beyond.

COVID-19

What does COVID mean for Texas children?

Before COVID-19, 1 in 5 children in Texas lived below the poverty line. After COVID-19, those numbers will grow.’
